makes no sense anymore. Not sure if that's the only one.
After this patch, the cr.links[link_id].addr will be a valid local link
address from

struct cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp, so I think it is not needed remove now.
You don't understand.

The issue is that it's set the line above.

                 cr.links[link_id].addr = data->links[link_id].addr;
                 /* need to have local link addresses for MLO connections */
                 WARN_ON(cr.ap_mld_addr && !cr.links[link_id].addr);
But look at that! What values can cr.links[link_id].addr get? Note how
it's a pointer - assigned from an array.

Oh, I know it now. the cr.links[link_id].addr will always NOT 0 because it is pointer

to an array "u8 addr[ETH_ALEN]" of struct cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp.

So maybe we can choose one of the 2 things to do:

1. remove the "WARN_ON(cr.ap_mld_addr && !cr.links[link_id].addr);"

2. change like this:

WARN_ON(cr.ap_mld_addr && !is_valid_ether_addr(cr.links[link_id].addr));

What about your advise?
